Chapter 204 Under the Pear Tree
Chapter 204 Under the Pear Tree
Theodore turned off the surveillance camera and left the guard room.
It was unknown when Mr. Lu would come back, so it was not appropriate to stay in such a troubled place for too long. Moreover, hearing about Duan Hongji and others had already made Theodore jealous and itchy. He had no interest in seeing Duan Hongji and a cheap substitute lingering around.
Theodore walked along the quiet path in the park and took out his cell phone.
The East and the West have different national conditions and cultural backgrounds.
Oriental people are more reserved in their emotions, and many of their cultures are difficult to understand. Theodore has read some Eastern love literature, and the subtle, mysterious, euphemistic, and twisted emotions in the stories often make him feel unreasonable.
If you like it, just pursue it. If you can’t get it, just plunder it, right?
Theodore could not understand this plot where you loved me and I loved you, we tested each other but neither of us said anything, and in the end we could not be together, and he even sneered at it.
But the facts have proven - at least the past events in Uncle Lu's mouth have proved that Duan Hongji still likes this kind of fresh and simple way of playing. And Theodore's inherent experience in love can only get Duan Hongji's impatient competition.
Theodore had been defeated several times in front of Duan Hongji, and he dared not use his own exploded love view to guess Duan Hongji. After thinking about it, Theodore decided to consult his oriental friend.
The other party has the same family background as Duan Hongji, and they are both Orientals. They should have something in common when it comes to love, right?
Of course, Theodore knew that the other party had a deep grudge against Duan Hongji. In order to protect his friend's self-esteem, Theodore decided to take an anonymous approach.
Di Hantian received a call.
Di Hantian is busy. After suffering a great blow, his authority in the Di Group has been greatly reduced, and he can only rely on increasingly cold and ruthless iron-blooded tactics to suppress others. Not to mention that recently, his uncle also came to Haicheng, and inexplicably received a lot of resources and connections from the family to support him, and invested a lot of money and resources in variety shows that the Di Group rarely involved in!
After his love affair with the heroine Yun Meng was completely ruined, Di Hantian lost the aura of the male protagonist and found it much more difficult to act than before. At this time, a young uncle with a military background suddenly appeared and made a big move. Even though the other party was a paraplegic, Di Hantian couldn't help but be vigilant.
Therefore, when he received this call, Di Hantian was quite impatient.
"Theodore," Di Hantian warned, "If this is still a boring and inexplicable question like what to put under the pillow, you know what the consequences will be."
Theodore didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Emperor, the problem this time is very important. There is something wrong with my love life."
Emperor Hantian: “…”
Before Di Hantian hung up the phone, Theodore quickly asked, "What do you think of the stand-in?"
Di Hantian: “…” What kind of question is this?
"Theodore, are you too drunk?" Di Hantian asked incredulously, "I remember you never fly leaves. Did you make an exception because you were hit too hard? Or did your elder brother plot against you?"
Theodore said in disgust: "Emperor, don't make such a disgusting joke. I don't want to become a poor fellow like the second, eighth, twelfth... "
Old Mansfield pursued excitement all his life, and was proficient in all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking. His sons inherited their father's true skills and were also the best among the scum.
For example, Theodore's eldest brother had some things on his hands that were not presentable. If those things were placed in Zhao Ruoming's motherland or the land under Theodore's feet, they would be enough to make him go through hundreds or thousands of ten-day trips to the animal realm. Of course, he himself would not smoke, but he would use those things to plot against his brothers. Four or five of Theodore's brothers had already been tricked and became puppets of the boss.
Theodore hated the behavior of puppets the most and was always wary of this. In his eyes, it would be better to be born dead than to be a poor creature who had lost his mind.
Di Hantian said: "You also know how it feels to be played a nasty joke by others? Then you shouldn't disturb my work."
Theodore pleaded, "Emperor, this is really important. For God's sake, I am dying over this."
Emperor Hantian: “…”
It’s not that he looked down on Theodore, but it turns out that Mansfield’s family believed in God, right?
God!
Thinking of Theodore's group of anthropomorphic brothers and his father who died in a very abstract way, Di Hantian fell silent.
While Di Hantian was speechless, Theodore continued: "Di, I have a lover, he is a wild horse, no method can keep him..."
“Stop, stop, stop.” Di Hantian was about to vomit. “Just tell me the important points.”
Theodore had no choice but to end his lyrical speech and said, "He found a substitute...who looks very similar to me."
Emperor Hantian: “.”
Di Hantian now suspects that Theodore has gone insane.
Theodore said without blushing: "Tell me, what are his feelings towards me? And what are his feelings towards that substitute?"
Is that even a question?
"She has found a replacement for you, so of course she likes you." Di Hantian said speechlessly, "If you want her, why don't you just tell her directly?"
Although Theodore has always been a lunatic, this question is too inexplicable. I thought that the so-called sweetheart looked down on Theodore with tears, rage and even suicide. Isn't this really love?
Theodore said: "No, no, no, the point is the latter question, what are his feelings towards that substitute?"
Di Hantian said impatiently: "I can't understand these women's inexplicable thoughts. Maybe you can get the answer by asking Xin'er." Then he was about to hang up.
"Can you put yourself in this situation?" Theodore's tone was full of curiosity. "When we were studying in school, weren't you good at this?"
Di Hantian was completely frightened by this escaped patient from the insane asylum: "What am I substituting for? A substitute? If you are sick, go get treatment."
"Why do you think so?" Theodore said with a smile, "Have you ever had someone you like but can't get? Just assume that there is such a person, and you can't get him/her, so you find a substitute - at this time, how would you feel about this substitute?"
Di Hantian sneered and was about to make a mockery, but suddenly stopped.
A face suddenly flashed through his mind, a face hidden in the water curtain formed by dripping wine, with a frivolous and playful smile on its face.
That face would make him grit his teeth in hatred every time he dreamed of it in the middle of the night.
Those cracked thin lips that spoke countless cruel words.
Di Hantian shuddered suddenly.
He couldn't help but wonder, if there was someone - he meant if, someone who looked like that shameful, hateful and audacious man, stood in front of him with that face, what would he do?
Di Hantian shivered suddenly.
As if to cover up the most shameful and unspeakable secret in his heart, Di Hantian suddenly became angry and said: "What else can you think? It's just a toy! In my eyes, he is not as good as a bottle of wine!"
Having said that, Di Hantian hung up the phone at lightning speed, as if he was avoiding something.
Theodore looked at the phone interface in confusion. What happened to the emperor? Did he really put himself in the picture?
However, Di Hantian's words were similar to Theodore's inference. Duan Hongji's feelings for A-Xia were far more than just appearance, and Fu Dongshu was just a cheap decoration for comfort.
While thinking about these things, Theodore did not forget to look for the pear tree that Duan Hongji had pruned. His efforts paid off, and he finally saw the shadow of the tree.
Theodore strolled leisurely in the garden and even had the leisure to hum a ballad from his hometown.
Amid the melodious French tune, Theodore walked to the pear tree, but his steps froze.
The reason was simple: he saw a figure under the tree!
